Testimonials
Dr. X and Dr. Y are both excellent physicians and dedicated teachers. On the first day of the rotation, Dr. X took time to learn about my background and clearly communicated the expectations for the rotation. The thoughtful approach made me feel welcomed and guided right from the beginning...The greatest strengths of this rotation are its strong focus on exposure to FNA procedures and real-time cytologic evaluation, along with close mentorship from experienced pathologists. The opportunity to observe the full process—from patient interaction and specimen collection to slide preparation and microscopic diagnosis—provides an excellent, integrated learning experience. Immediate feedback during rapid on-site evaluation and discussions of diagnostic criteria have been especially valuable in strengthening my diagnostic reasoning and understanding of cytopathology...The combination of procedural learning, diagnostic training, and mentorship makes this a particularly strong and enriching rotation for anyone pursuing pathology.
